MCP 2.1

["John D. Ramsdell" <ramsdell@linus.mitre.org>]

In a multiline message why should it be necessary to declare the
key/value pairs that are to follow in additional lines to come?

For example, rather than requiring the text*: "" part in the message:

  #$#jdr-text file: bing/bong "" text*: "" _data-tag: abc
  #$#* abc text: lolly
  #$#* abc text: pop
  #$#END abc

one would simply have to send:

  #$#jdr-text* abc file: bin/bong
  #$#* abc text: lolly
  #$#* abc text: pop
  #$#END abc
